The Power of Student Peer Leaders
“PeerForward began as an initiative of the organization College Summit, one of the groups selected by President Barack Obama to receive a portion of his Nobel Peace Prize winnings. Over two decades, College Summit had shown it could improve college-entry rates among low-income, minority students; its successes influenced many similarly focused organizations and helped inform education policies. Four years ago, College Summit renamed itself PeerForward and changed its program to focus on youth leadership, the core driver of success in College Summit’s work.”
